Oil & Gas Industry

Overview
Oil & Gas industry has been instrumental in fueling the rapid
growth of economy. The petroleum and natural gas sector includes
transportation, refining and marketing of petroleum products and gas
constitutes. Its final products supply two third of the world's energy.
The industry is full of growth opportunities.

Oil & Gas Industry is characterized by rising consumption of oil
products, declining crude production and low reserve accretion. Today,
the corporate giants in the field are investing heavily to meet the rise
demand of the petroleum products on a global platform. Exploration for
production growth, development of discovered fields, transportation of
crude oil, gas and products, refining to service the petroleum product
domestic demand and exports, retailing infrastructure; have become
prospective blocks to encourage the sector providing business and
investment opportunities.

Projects are spread across the continents, often in remote locations,
at sea and offshore. These projects create large number of oil & gas
jobs that are conceptualized, planned, managed and operated by highly
skilled professionals. The activities for required for oil & gas
industry jobs can be broadly classified into upstream, mid stream and
down stream.

Oil & Gas Recruitment
We specialize in providing contract and permanent services for oil &
gas recruitment solutions to the oil & gas industry worldwide. Our
active database for oil & gas jobs developed by the extended network
of offices enable us to shortlist right candidate for the these oil &
gas industry jobs. We have been involved at all stages of the oil &
gas recruitment process from conceptional feed engineering through all
stages with the contractor and have followed the majority of projects
through to operation and maintenance stages. By following every stage,
and by placing high quality candidates into oil & gas jobs at all
levels, we have developed a detailed understanding all the phases of
projects. We have the necessary infrastructure in place to tap into the
global talent pool, importing skilled labour from project to project and
from country to country. Our key strength for oil & gas industry
jobs is ability to pin-point the deserving candidates within a short
span, regardless of the location or time. With an ability to source
workforce from India and overseas, we have a strong client base which
includes oil industry majors, both offshore and onshore.

Upstream Activities
The upstream activities for oil & gas jobs includes exploration,
production and basic processing of crude oil and natural gas.
Exploration is considered to be the main axis of activities for finding
new sources of oil and gas and is a firm backing of production. Finding
the source and extracting oil are the primary function of the industry.
These activities are executed by contractors working in the support
activities for mining sub sector. While, some of the activities are
undertaken by the companies itself.

The increase in demand for crude oil and gas in local and global
economies has resulted in advancements in methods of exploration,
drilling, extraction, processing and refinement. Using different
methods, crew of qualified workers search for geologic formations and
exploration are carried out onshore or offshore. There is tremendous
pressure in the segment to find and get at new oil reserves that can
quench the world's thirst for oil. Supply is shrinking in large part
because former third world countries, like India and China, have huge
needs for oil to feed their growing industries.

Oil & Gas Industry is looking forward to deploy innovative
technologies to locate and extract oil. This has resulted significant
rise in demand for petroleum engineers and geo-scientists worldwide .
It takes significant training and education to work in specialized
areas of exploration & extraction such as engineering, seismic
testing, drilling, operation of service rigs, etc.

Some of the job profiles in the segment for which we have been actively
recruiting are as follows:

Midstream Activities
Midstream activities are basically concerned with the transportation
oil and gas from the site of extraction to the refineries. Various
activities include treatment of crude oil in order to remove impurities
such as water vapor or hydrogen sulfide. Removing impurities and
compressing the fluid helps to transport a larger quantity of the crude
oil and natural gases.

Midstream activities play an important part in getting the crude oil
and natural gas to the refineries and to the end consumers. Once, the
petroleum has been through the mid stream sector, it undergoes the final
stage of processing in the refineries. The crude oils are refined into
gasoline and many other petroleum ready to be sold in the market.

Midstream sector of the industry is full of job opportunities,
providing a fast track career growth in the leading multinationals. It
includes working for companies that transport oil and natural gas from
the drilling sites to the refinery and then on to the consumers. The job
demands qualified and trained professionals such as HSE Manager,
Operations Technologist, Refinery Designs Engineer, Chemical Engineers,
Petroleum engineer and others.

The introduction of innovative technology in the mid stream sector has
made process much more efficient and well defined. Hence, the sector
requires professionals with specialization in pipe line transportation,
refineries, storage etc.

Some of the key job profile in the Midstream Segment of Oil & Gas
industry includes:

Downstream Activities
Today, the oil companies are in search of trained and experienced
workers, who can utilize their experience to streamline the process. The
downstream segment of the Oil & Gas Industry is where the petroleum
meets the end consumers. It involves overall management of the way the
resources (extracted in the midstream activities) are moved to the areas
where they are required. This process completely depends upon proper
coordination of the supply chain for increased efficiency and
profitability. Downstream sector provides the thousands of products we
use in our everyday lives and there are about 3,000 products made from
petroleum.

Logistic support and effective distribution forms the back bone of the
marketing segment. It involves seamless integration of information,
transportation, inventory, warehousing, material handling and packaging.
A company can significantly reduce the time of delivery and increase
profitability through proper supply chain management. The down stream
sector of the industry is responsible for a considerable portion of
industry's' profits every year. Gas distribution utilities, oil product
wholesalers, service stations and petrochemical companies form an
important part of the downstream sector.

Today, the oil companies are in search of trained and experienced
workers, who can utilize thier experience to streamline the process.
They provide various opportunity to the deserving candidates for several
types of jobs including entry-level positions as well as degreed
positions.

Some of the key job profiles in the Downstream Sector of the Oil &
Gas Industry are as follows:
